Even
though it was another day off work for me I was downstairs before
7:00. I got to witness the Golf Course Cutting Crew keeping
the greens so well manicured. First I saw the first Red Mower
cutting the grass all around the putting greens. Next the Green
Mower came along to do the greens themselves. He actually was
down on his hands and knees to inspect his handiwork. Then a big
Orange Mower was going along cutting all the Fairways and
the surrounding areas.
I
managed to get most of my morning reading finished before Kathy would
join me just after 8:00. It was comfortable enough Temperature
Wise that the Golfers were back to wearing Short
Sleeved Shirts and Shorts.
After
having Peaches as breakfast we returned to the Computers
with our morning Coffee/Tea. That gave me the chance to do
more Data Entries into our Expenditure Spreadsheet. I
was truly surprised how long it actually takes to do this. After an
Hour I had barely gotten Forty Receipts recorded so it
will get done a little at a time.
By
10:30 I was outside rearranging the Toolboxes that are in the
Basement so that I can take one to Work
to have a place to store my Personal Tools. One of the reasons
this had to be done this morning was that our Forecast was
calling for Rain this afternoon.
Just
as I got back inside we got a call from our daughter Karen. It’s
been a few weeks since we’ve had a visit so she invited us over for
supper.
Feeling
a little stiff I walked over to the Park
Exercise Room where I managed to work a number of Kinks
out. I also noted that another pound had been lost bringing the
total to 16. It may not sound like much but I know about
hitting Weight Plateaus. Another thing is that I’m not
really working out very much but have simply cut my Intake
down.
Back
Home we had Chicken Noodle
Soup for lunch along with a Pear and Yogurt Cup for
dessert. We worked together to do the dishes. Then Kathy needed to
have her hair washed but her Hand was throbbing today. She
leaned over the counter while I shampooed and conditioned her Hair
for her. She said it felt Wonderful. By that time it was my
turn for a Shower and Shave.
We
were on our way out the door by 2:30 heading for Windsor
and the Canadian Blood Services
in the old Red Cross building.
After getting Home after my last
donation I realized that my next Appointment Date was Labour
Day. I E-mailed them thinking they had made a mistake but they
replied assuring me they would be open. It was funny to see some
Preschool Aged Children going with Mom or Dad while
they donated a Life Saving Gift. This was my 118th
Blood Donation.

We
arrived at Karen’s house around 4:00 and went for a short ride with
her in her newer Car. Being newer then our Car it has a
lot more Bells and Whistles to it. By the time we got
back to her house we sat under the Gazebo and enjoyed the
fresh air. Greg had just returned from visiting his Father. Kylla
also joined us for supper but soon went to bed due to her working Two
Jobs. The only one missing was Tyler who was helping a buddy work
on his car. Sanford was our biggest fan making certain to show us the
latest toy that we had given him.
The
Lasagna was done to perfection as was the Garden Salad
with Feta Cheese. Karen was upset that I only had Half
the Sized Portion that I normally did. Pasta is high in
Carbs but as long as we maintain smaller portions our Weight
Loss should continue. We took our Coffee/Tea back outside
under the Gazebo and continued getting caught up. The Wind
started picking up then the Rain came and we were soon
scrambling to get back inside.
End of the Storm. |
Everyone
was in agreement that summer just seemed too short this year. Supper
was delicious but the visit was wonderful.
When
we left I had to show Kathy where we’ll be meeting tomorrow
afternoon. There was a steady Rain
until
after we got Home.
We
hope that
everyone had a Safe
and
Enjoyable
Labour Day.
Thank
you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
It’s
about time.
